Hi all,

A few weeks ago, my vet told me to get the T-Rex brand "Calcium Plus Food for Crickets" to feed my dubias, only it doesn't seem like they're eating much of it. I was gone all weekend and when I got back there seemed to be almost the same amount of pellets in their bowl as when I left, and I have at least 150+ dubias in the container.

The dubias I care for have always been extremely hardy on their previous diet, but lately I've been seeing more die-off. There's no mold or anything like that in the enclosure either. I've been feeding them the pellets dry to avoid that exact problem, but are they just too hard for them to eat or something? Anyone else here use T-Rex brand products successfully and can tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I don't bother with the commercial feed. My roaches eat mostly veg scraps. They really like squash and pumpkin as well as orange slices. They'll pick at leftover greens too. They occasionally get leftover bread but are doing well on a mainly vegetarian diet.

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
